This weekend is the Rock Island, IL Train Festival. As part of that event they are sponsoring a number of steam excursions. Today's excursion left Rock Island for Bureau, IL on the Iowa Interstate line. That means it passed directly by the building where I worked, and I managed to get these shots as it went by.
Tomorrow I have tickets on the steam excursion to Iowa City. Will have anb opportunity to get some close up shots.
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
Beautiful shots of 765! My wife and daughter and I rode the trip to Iowa City also. Was a very good trip and the run bys were awesome.
very nice. I was unable to get to the Train Fest due to problems that came up. I know someone who volunteers at Ft. Wayne RR Historical Society and helps with this engine. So I had particularly wanted to see her.
Sounds like she did a great job and put on a terrific show for everyone. Long live steam.
